As clinical documentation is still mainly on paper, medication reconciliation data elements are documented in various places

• Document Medication by Hx tab under Medications tab in Cerner

• Clinical System additional notes page ‐ paper• Alerts tab in Cerner• Allergy on Cerner

Business Requirements• Setup an interface between Cerner and iPharmacy to receive & process standard prescription orders  (PBS and non‐PBS)

• Complex orders (e.g. orders containing a combination of ingredients) NOT in scope

• Only unidirectional interface from Cerner to iPharmacy

• Use of the Australian Medicines Terminology

Page 22: Skip Lam, Peninsula Health: Implementing And Developing The Cerner Millennium Clinical System: Integration And Communication Between Systems

The Hard Yards

• Product design and specification• Mapping doctors in Cerner® to iPharmacy®• Mapping cost centres in Cerner® to iPharmacy®• Product assignment in iPharmacy using TPP codes• Mapping unit of measures (UOM) in iPharmacy® to 

Cerner®• Purge eRx orders• Not ONE interface! Local integration specialist

Clinical Pharmacists’ Priorities

1. Discharge prescriptions2. Ward rounds when available. 3. Review and verify orders that come up on PharmNet ‐

while doing this also review those patients' drug charts.

4. Follow up issues identified from previous days, or based on blood test results or on high risk drugs, vancomycin, digoxin, warfarin, etc.

5. Interview patients and perform medication reconciliation

6. Review drug charts

Page 26: Skip Lam, Peninsula Health: Implementing And Developing The Cerner Millennium Clinical System: Integration And Communication Between Systems

Criteria for Autoverification• Minor and Moderate interactions will autoverify• Low risk drugs which have been set to autoverify either at the drug or sentence level• Order sentences that has NOT been modified at the point of ordering• Prescribed drugs that are modified • Cancelled/Discontinued orders• Orders which do not auto product assign• Product assignment will fail if the order requires more than 3 dose units of a product (e.g. more than 3 tablets) to fulfil the ordered dose. This is intended to be a safety feature of PharmNet.

Australian Medicines Terminology

The Australian Medicines Terminology (AMT) is the national terminology to identify medicines used in Australia, using unique codes to deliver unambiguous, accurate and standardised names for both branded (trade) and generic (medicinal) products.

Benefits•Reduces errors by the use of clear, standard and unambiguous naming.•Enables the safe and reliable exchange of medicines information•Facilitates effective decision support of active ingredients to assist with drug allergy and drug interaction checking.•Supports good clinical practice by allowing linkage of data such as clinical guidelines and dosing information.

Page 31: Skip Lam, Peninsula Health: Implementing And Developing The Cerner Millennium Clinical System: Integration And Communication Between Systems

Cerner Multum

• Multum provides a foundational database with comprehensive drug product and disease nomenclature information to link with Multum's clinical information systems and other outside systems. This database includes drug names, drug product information, disease names, coding systems such as ICD‐9‐CM and NDC, generic names, brand names and common abbreviations.

• Issues with product assignment

Page 35: Skip Lam, Peninsula Health: Implementing And Developing The Cerner Millennium Clinical System: Integration And Communication Between Systems

Issues with Multum?

Not all the dosage forms commonly used in Australia available in the Multum codeset; about half of the dosage forms not matching

This might impact on medication reconciliation

Page 36: Skip Lam, Peninsula Health: Implementing And Developing The Cerner Millennium Clinical System: Integration And Communication Between Systems

• Unable to use some applications• iPad – good battery life of approx. 8 hours and lightweight• Fat finger; some situations require keyboard• To have both PharmNET and Powerchart open, must log in 

first to PharmNet then Launch PowerChart; switch between these using two finger tap.

• PowerChart seems to ‘time out/close down’ on the iPadand then require relaunching and this can take a number of attempts.

• Cannot selectively choose drugs on iPad to enter comments (unlike a desktop by using Ctrl and clicking with the mouse).

• Will require a combination of products

• Battery life approx. 3 hours only• Cannot log into external internet???• Doesn’t respond to finger, only pen• Pharmacist complained of eyestrain and 

neck pain at the end of the day. OH&S issue....

• Too heavy• When battery goes flat, takes more than 

2 mins to restart up. If restarted, takes more than 5 mins to reload.

• Slow to launch Cerner• Too difficult and slow to type in one letter 

at a time using the keyboard and pen. Writing device not always recognise the handwriting.

• Nurse using for e‐administration

Achievements

• Realisation of a dream since 2002• Doctors are e‐prescribing and nurses e‐administration

• Improved communication• No fighting over drug charts• Medication audits

Conclusion

• The HealthSmart clinical system has been successfully implemented in acute and rehabilitation wards. Pharmacy staff are comfortable with using the system and there are early signs of medication safety benefits.
